I’m trying to delete the most recent docker image.
alpine:~# docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
chrisk built_vi aee7ee967988 51 minutes ago 1.35GB
chrisk/micropython built b3bd6ff2cd24 10 hours ago 1.34GB
scrlk/esp32-micropython latest 2c53d2145141 4 years ago 1.26GB
alpine:~# docker rmi aee7ee967988
Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to delete aee7ee967988 (must be forced) - image is being used by stopped container 6ab43bc6dd0c
alpine:~#
What is a stopped container? And why do I not see it?
OK, further research revealed:
docker ps -a
But in the end I did a docker rmi --force
But I still have a lot of such:

Why does this all pile up?
